Leoff in Berlin, Germany in the 1830s.This kind of glass pot quickly spread throughout Europe, and many different improvements appeared. The nearly modern upright siphon coffee pot was invented by Lyon, France in 1841.Madame VassieuxDesigned and patented.
There is an interesting history that the great composer Beethoven counted 60 pills every day when he was alive.coffee beansHe went to make his own morning coffee, and the coffee pot he used was similar to a siphon coffee pot with glass bottles on the top and bottom. However, Beethoven actually died in Vienna, Austria, in 1827, so the predecessor of the siphon coffee pot may have appeared long before historical documents recorded it.
In addition, the English name for siphon coffee pot is Syphon. Due to the pronunciation, the siphon coffee pot is also called a Sifeng pot, so when you see a Sifeng Hu later, you will know that it is a siphon type.
Why is it called syphon?
The siphon pot, also known as syphon, originated in Germany and is a method that uses the pressure generated when water boils to help brew coffee. The coffee pot is divided into upper and lower parts, connected by a conduit in the middle. Water is converted into water vapor, and the pressure on the water surface increases. So the boiled water enters from the conduit to the top, puts in the coffee powder, and then re-enters the bottom through the filter cloth, and then you can drink it.
Flavor characteristics of siphon pot coffee
If we sayPour-over coffeeThe characteristic is that it can bring out the sour taste and aroma of coffee, with full flavor and distinct layers. Then the extraction temperature of siphon coffee is higher, and the essence of coffee will be released in a short time, making the coffee more bitter. At the same time, because the flannel filter cloth of the siphon coffee pot does not filter the coffee oil, the taste of the siphon coffee is thicker and rounder.
